Language, Education, and Empowerment: Voices of Kumauni Young Women in Multilingual India Abstract My research explores the language and education situation in the Kumaun region of North India from the perspectives of rural Kumauni young women and in light of their views on empowerment and their aims for the future. My questions address language and education issues in the Kumaun 1) in relation to national policies and local ideologies, 2) as experienced and negotiated by young women, and 3) as applied in a unique Gandhian educational context. Based at Lakshmi Ashram, a Gandhian boarding school serving disadvantaged girls, I used ethnographic methods, focusing on a group of Kumauni young women. National-level language planning through the Indian Census, Constitution, and educational policies minimize some diversity. Locally, discourses about language and dialect, or bhasha and boli, and mother tongue allow for flexible categories and identities. Medium of instruction also takes new meaning through informal multilingual classroom practices. Each language – English, Hindi, Kumauni, and Sanskrit – is valued in its place or environment and in relationship with the other languages. Meanwhile educational opportunities vary in quality and reputation, including a push for English education. While constrained by social and economic realities, Kumauni young women look for ways to improve their lives. Alternative values advocated at the Ashram, and negotiated by the young women, point to empowerment as involving high thinking, self-confidence, and progress within community. I conclude using the ecology of language and continua of biliteracy to highlight significant themes and exploring the issues of collaboration, community, and ecology in relation to language and education.

Many have helped me along the way. I remember the warm hospitality of Vimla-Didi during my first visit to Lakshmi Ashram in 2000. Thanks for the many cups of kaRha [herbal tea] then and in the following years! I think of Neema- Didi, Kanti-Didi, Durga-Didi, Basanti-Didi and all of my other precious sisters at Lakshmi Ashram who allowed me into their lives. I also want to thank the members of my dissertation committee, especially Nancy Hornberger, whose inspirational work drew me to GSE and to the Educational Linguistics program. My colleagues have also been an inspiration to me, and have helped to shape this dissertation as we shared ideas and feedback through the dissertation seminar, the Educational Linguistics Forum, and the Working Papers in Educational Linguistics. I am also very grateful to my patient Hindi professors Surendra and Vijay Gambhir. My friends and family have also helped to carry me through. You know who you are and I thank you! Monica and Anika, I remember the many spontaneous meals at Kim's food truck, the fun, and the encouragement. I am especially grateful for Jonathan's endless support and for Daniel's timely arrival just hours after I attached the dissertation chapters and hit the “send” button. iii ABSTRACT LANGUAGE, EDUCATION, AND EMPOWERMENT: VOICES OF KUMAUNI YOUNG WOMEN IN MULTILINGUAL INDIA Cynthia Groff Nancy H. Hornberger Local and minority means of producing, knowing, and communicating are often undervalued in the face of modern development schemes, universal systems of education, and languages of wider communication. Through this research, I attempt to understand a local situation from local perspectives – specifically the language and education situation in the Kumaun region of North India from the perspectives of rural Kumauni young women and in light of their views on empowerment and their aims for the future. My questions address language and education issues in the Kumaun 1) in relation to national policies and local ideologies, 2) as experienced and negotiated by young women, and 3) as applied in a unique Gandhian educational context. The Kumauni people of the Himalayan foothills, numbering over two million, are one of several linguistic minority groups in the Hindi-speaking state of Uttarakhand. My research was based at Lakshmi Ashram, a Gandhian boarding school serving disadvantaged girls from throughout the Kumaun. I used ethnographic methods during nine months of primary fieldwork, observing interactions around language and education, starting conversations on these themes, and conducting interviews, focusing on a group of Kumauni young women. National-level language planning through the iv Indian Census, Constitution, and educational policies minimize some diversity. Locally, discourses about language and dialect, or bhasha and boli, and mother tongue allow for flexible categories and identities. Medium of instruction also takes new meaning through informal multilingual classroom practices. Each language – English, Hindi, Kumauni, and Sanskrit – is valued in its place or environment and in relationship with the other languages. Meanwhile educational opportunities vary in quality and reputation, including a push for English education and influenced, sometimes unexpectedly, by government policies. While constrained by social and economic realities, Kumauni young women look for ways to improve their lives. Alternative values advocated at the Ashram, and negotiated by the young women, point to empowerment as involving high thinking, self-confidence, and progress within community. I conclude using the ecology of language and continua of biliteracy to highlight significant themes and exploring the issues of collaboration and empowerment, community and ecology in relation to language and education. v TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION: MINORITY VOICES, AND LANGUAGE AND EDUCATION CHOICES . 1 Research Questions and Methods 6 Overview of the Chapters 7 CHAPTER 2 – CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK: VALUING THE LOCAL AND DEALING WITH INEQUALITIES IN LANGUAGE AND EDUCATION . 11 Valuing the Local: Minority Voices on Development, Education, and Language Sustainable Development and the Lakshmi Ashram Development Context Emancipatory Education and the Lakshmi Ashram Education Context Language Resources and the Lakshmi Ashram Linguistic Context Language and Education Decisions and Implications 27 Bottom-up Language Planning Language Shift and Language Maintenance Mother Tongue and Medium of Instruction Language and Poverty Understanding and Dealing with Inequalities: Power Dynamics in Language and Education 33 The Ecology of Language and the Continua of Biliteracy Language, Education, and Dominant Discourses Contestation, Awakening, and Agency CHAPTER 3 – SETTING: LAKSHMI ASHRAM AND THE KUMAUN . 43 Setting and Participants 46 Lakshmi Ashram The Sadhana Program Kausani Government Intermediate College, Kausani Life in Kausani Estate The Village of Dholara The Kumaun and the Kumauni People 61 Kumaun in Uttarakhand Kumauni People Kumauni Women Kumauni Language vi CHAPTER 4 – METHODS: CONDUCTING RESEARCH IN THE KUMAUN . 75 Theoretical Influences on the Research Experiential Influences on the Research 80 Research Methods 84 General Procedures Preliminary Fieldwork Fieldwork Record-Keeping and Analysis Practical Influences on the Research

  • Village Deity and Sacred Text Power Relations and Cultural Synthesis at an Oral Performance of the Bhāgavatapurāṇa in a Garhwal Community
    McComas Taylor The Australian National University Village Deity and Sacred Text Power Relations and Cultural Synthesis at an Oral Performance of the Bhāgavatapurāṇa in a Garhwal Community A week-long festival centered on stories about the deity Kṛṣṇa was held in the hamlet of Naluna, Garhwal district, Northern India. This practice (known as a saptāh) is primarily a product of an elite Hindu community of the North Indian Plain. Two loci of power were identified: the village deity represent- ing local authority, and the text-as-artifact of the Bhāgavatapurāṇa, the metonymy of the authority of the recently imported cultural practice. The role of each locus and their interaction are considered. While earlier theoreti- cal frameworks for understanding interactions between communities in the hills and plains have stressed dichotomies, this paper seeks to characterize the processes using a metaphor of hospitality. This approach, in which the local community is seen as consisting of modern subjects and empowered agents, accounts more accurately for the nature of the interaction between the village deity and the sacred text, and the new cultural synthesis which emerges. keywords: Bhāgavatapurāṇa—performance—saptāh—village deity—grām devtā—Garhwal Asian Ethnology Volume 70, Number 2 • 2011, 197–221 © Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture mid the blare of horns and the beating of drums, a palanquin covered with A scarlet drapes is carried on the shoulders of two village men.

In 1941 they were published in U. P. under the title "District Census Statistics" with a separate volume for each district. In the 1951 census, when the tabulation has been more elaborate than ever in view of the require, ments of the country. the district ... wise volume has been expanded into a "District Census Handbook", which now contains the District Census Tables (furnishing data with break ... up for census tracts within the district), the District Index of Non, agricultural Occupations, agricultural statistics from 190V02 to 19SO ... .s1 and other miscellaneous statistics in addition to the usual village population statistics. The village population statistics also are given in an elaborate form giving the division of the population among eight livelihood classes and other details. 2. It may be added here that a separate set of district... wise volumes giving only population figures of rural areas by villages and of urban areas by wards and mohallas and entitled "District Population Statistics" has already been published. This separate series was necessitated by the urgent requirements of the U. P. Government for elections to local bodies. 3. The number of District Census Handbooks printed so far is thirty seven. Special arrangements for speeding up the printing have now been made and it is hoped that the remaining Handbooks will be printed before the end of 1955.

  • “Sense of Community: a Cultural Study” Dr
    © 2019 JETIR May 2019, Volume 6, Issue 5 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) “Sense of community: A cultural study” Dr. Vijay Rathee (Faculty in Management) MDU-CPAS, Sector 40, Gurugram, Maharshi Dayanad Unversity, Rohtak, Haryana, India, Ms. Sweta Sharma (Faculty in Management) Gurugram University, Gurugram, Haryana, India. Abstract: The present study about an immigrant community enables one to understand the hardships and hopes. It also helps to know their attitude towards the host community. It enables one to understand the psychological impact of migration.Three forms of data collection methods were involved. These include qualitative interview, visual community and archival data.The data obtained was thematically analysed. Thematic analysis is an analysis of the major themes to be found in qualitative data. There were two major themes that occurred from the participant’s interview. Ultimately it has been concluded that, a sense of community enhances the environmental, psychological, and relational quality of life of an individual. Key words: Immigrants study, thematic analysis, qualitative data, archival data, visual community. Introduction The present study was aimed at studying Sense of community in an immigrant population. Not just international migration but internal migration from one area to another in search of improved livelihoods is also a key feature of human history. While some regions and sectors fall behind in their capacity to support populations, others move ahead and people migrate to access these emerging opportunities. Industrialization widens the gap between rural and urban areas, inducing a shift of the workforce towards industrializing areas. There is extensive debate on the factors that cause populations to shift, from those that emphasize individual rationality and household behavior to those that cite the structural logic of capitalist development (Haan&Rogaly, 2002).
